Class Experience

Tiny clay cupcakes, sleepy foxes and doll-sized bookshelves are irresistible to many kids, and polymer clay makes them possible to keep forever. This private studio gives young makers four focused sessions with a teacher who can watch every pinch and roll on camera.

The first session covers the basics: conditioning clay, mixing custom colours and using simple tools to make miniature food such as donuts, fruit and pancakes. Session two moves on to tiny animals and characters, using basic shapes to build heads, bodies and faces with expression.

In session three learners create props for a miniature scene, such as furniture, plants and little books, learning about scale so everything looks right together. The final session brings it all together into a small diorama in a jar lid, box or base, with tips on safe baking, glazing and gluing.

Because the course is one-on-one, the teacher can adapt each project to the learner's interests, whether that is a bakery, a woodland, a bedroom or a pet shop, and can slow down for younger kids or add detail challenges for older ones.

By the end, learners have a set of finished miniatures, a diorama to display and the skills to keep inventing their own tiny worlds.

How classes work

Sessions are scheduled one-on-one, once a week for four weeks. The teacher demonstrates each technique close to the camera, then guides the learner step by step and suggests a small make to try between sessions. Baking is done after class with an adult.
